I’ve spoken to many Celtic fans over the last couple of days but I’ve not met one who would have preferred Roy Keane to be our manager instead of Ronny Deila. Despite some impeccable references, Ronny is a largely unknown character, but there is an appreciation among the support that we need to come up with a plan to enable the club to over-achieve in Europe.
The man’s performance at the media conference was faultless. It’s not important to quick-witted but his use of words like “energise” and “offensive” is promising. Football is in the entertainment business and Ronny appears to appreciate the link between the way his team perform, not just their results, and the ultimate satisfaction supporters’ leave the ground with.
Our thanks to the Greenock Celtic Supporters Club for hosting last night’s CQN Lions fundraiser for the Celtic FC Foundation. We were fortunate to be entertained by Willie Wallace, John Hughes and Bertie Auld, it was a fantastic night, full of laughs.
Special thanks to those who attended and helped raise over £2000 for the Foundation, and to those who promised to get involved with the Foundation. The club is in good hands with supporters like those in Greenock last night. Big shout to Joe and Mick for bringing a familiar old friend along.
Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his tome, All the Best.

TSD:
I genuinely hope your mother gets over her limited expectations of you. But hey! all is not lost, you’re an international reprobate. In anybody’s book that is better than being a parochial reprobate.
I love you.
what really pissed me off about that big crash was all those commies who benefited from it and redistributed all that wealth – did my nut in.
kitalba
I liked that one. :-)))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
cant wait for independence – for Glasgow – for my street – for my house – for my trousers – probably still be ruled by someone else.
Gave the club benefit of the doubt……
But….
Can someone update Celtic APP ?

Ernie when it comes to truth, what I do know is that you have as much say in the referendum as Barack Obama, George Osborne, Ian Paisley, Elton John or Prince Charles. That is, no say. You don’t have a vote.
What you and the others I’ve mentioned don’t get is they more you and your ilk interfere, the less likely the vote will be no.
Time to haud yer wheesht and leave it to us with a vote. This is a big decision and we don’t need your input.
No into Tennis, but bored oot ma mind
That was some game, and their some athletes
Rafal what a player

Well said.
My friends in Celtic,
Ref Indy referendum : Sometimes least said soonest mended.
However, I fear the legacy of the referendum and Alex Salmond will be a bitterly divided country.
I will trust the decision of the people and abide by the democratic process.
Will the Yes campaigners ?

Kojo,
Sir, stick to the football,
patronising nonsense which has no relevance to Scotland’s independence debate.
Don’t make the mistake (of many posters) by pigeon holing folk – you will invariably be wrong!!
HH
Argument amongst polar opposites contain accusations of fear,paranoia and hysteria …
The independence debate is circuitous and very boring
Snake
Really…..coming from the tub thumper who doesn’t live here

Ask yourself this question –
which side are more likely to become violent if they lose?
PF Ayr
I might have a surprise for you.
Seems to be a lot of unionists in the Celtic support. Maybe the club are missing out on some merchandising opportunities. Union flags, Rule Britannia CDs…….
Could even have a Red, White & Blue Brigade……
Snake Plissken @ 17.56 hrs.
With respect, that doesn’t answer the question.
Therefore I ask again : Will you and the Yes campaigners abide by the democratic decision of the people, regardless ?
HH.

touché
but there are a lot of proud Scotsmen who through mis-luck no longer live in Scotland but love the county as much as those domiciled there.
From a wee Scotsman who loves Scotland but doesn’t have the luck to live in the county he wishes his luck would turn.

Will the World cup interrupt your summer gardenin plans?

ernie lynch – Farage & UKIP are a worry, he’s now demanding seats in the House of Lords which I believe he will get to shut up the Tory backbenchers.
Snake – I really don’t think it would become violent whatever way the votes goes, do you ?

Just noticed Kirsty Gallacher on TV. She’s quite attractive. Only just found out who her dad was.

We’ve been over this ground before.
If I understand you correctly, you claim to know me, or at least know who I am, is that correct?
You claim that I live in Croydon, is that correct?
As you will recall I’ve refuted both claims and I’ve called you a liar.
I’ve asked you to state who you think I am ie name a name.
Tellingly, you haven’t done so.
To sum up.
1. I live in Scotland.
2. I have a vote in the referendum.
3. You are a liar.

Phew,,, what a game… Do you think Rafal will help to block the independance of the basque people?
Only asking. :))
Goasstwothirdsfull.mtrying to dehumanise those who would vote no by equating them with the nonsense you do really is rather pathetic.
I won’t vote. Don’t think that at my age I should be trying to influence something that I’ll not have to experiencer the outcome of whether good or bad.
My daughters will both vote no and both are currently doing very well in their chosen professions.
Italian rumour mill.
Sammi has been ‘offered’ to Napoli allegedly.
They don’t appear to be interested.
Allegedly.
Getting warm here.
Going for a paddle.
HH!!
EDB
A very sensible approach …
Too many have a vote …the consequences of which will not have any effect on them
EDB
Do as the lassies tell you …better than not voting :-))

I don’t know what exactly you mean by abide by the result. If you mean will we never talk of it again then the answer is no. We will continue to campaign for it until we get what we want.
It is the nature of the beast I’m afraid.
We’ve never won on this issue and we might not win this year but one day we will.
If we vote no, within 5 years some of the no voters will in my opinion regret that decision and it will come back on the agenda. The fundamentalists will remain where they are but the reluctant ones will see their error I believe.
If Alex Salmond is correct it might be another 30 years but if no wins by a small percentage and we get what is coming down the line from London then it will be back on the agenda rather quickly. We know what is coming from London our way if we vote no and it is not pretty. When people ask for certainty in this debate the only things we can be certain about is the cuts that are to come regardless of who is elected in 2015 and everything that goes with it.
You see what I think you are asking is will the idea go away?
And the answer will always be no.
We were told by another Labour Lord that devolution would kill nationalism stone dead but what really happened is the return of our parliament made it possible for people to imagine something more for Scotland.
It has instead been one of many catalysts bringing us to where we are today.
Once the idea is out there it doesn’t just disappear.
Sipsini,
Wouldn’t mind him helping us find our no. 2 with that level of fitness and never be defeated attitude :-)
Which brings us onto the most important thing on my mind at the minute, what will big Ronny’s coaching team be ?
Anyone any ideas ?

JimmyQuinnsBits:
I’ve been lucky in life a wee bit, I’ve been able, through work, to get about a wee bit. Everywhere, I go they just heap all this PPE stuff on me. But I only have one life. I’ll never wear out my favourite boots.
I have a creek runs through my wee patch and when the rains come the rivers flow and I put on size seven to fourteen boots on my kids and they run up an down the creek and break the boots in. Then I give them away.
But I have a favourite pair of working boots, if anybody is so masochistic to have such a favourite, but I do. They’re very expensive leather, they’re moulded to my feet and my ankles, I love them when I’m working but I just know God put those boots on this earth, not for me, but for a reason. A divine calling and I’m waiting for the phone to ring.
If working boots could be sexy, mine are okay, well better than okay but I’m not going to baost, they’re ageing well, but they know and I know until I, in they give, TSD one almighty boot in the baws, then they have been wasted and so have I.
TSD… kitalba@gmail.com please get in touch I love you.
I know everybody else thinks you’re a prick but I think you’re just a mis-understood hun who needs a wee bit of loving.
I’m up for that in my boots.

You’ve won me over:o)
EDB SAYS NO! And so do his lovely daughterscsc.
So often the supporters of Celtic have sung the songs of freedom for one country while on here some supporters seem to decry other posters wishing for the freedom of their own country, the one where Celtic is located
West End of East End
If YES wins, this will be a shock to the system and some people will not be able to handle it. Remember the threats and behaviour of our not so favourite football supporters in recent years.
I do not think normal people will react like that but there are the SDL types out there. You should check out the youtube video of one of their number approaching YES campaigners in the streets.
It was a hair’s breath away from violence.
Those people are out there and support no.

Just what the fuggin hell does supporting Celtic have to do with being a unionist? Believe it or not fella, some people do actually have a life outside football, and can make lifestyle decisions based on what happens outside the SPFL and ECL. What a fanny you have proved yourself to be.
Snake Plissken,
I respect your honesty.
However it raises another fundamental problem of a “Neverendum” and a constantly divided country.
This will be Alex Salmond’s legacy.
HH.
If I had a vote in Scotland, I’d vote for free education… for ever.
cowiebhoy,
Ah football, I’m not sure about Collins, I don’t see him as a person to play second fiddle to anyone.
I watched murdo being interviewed yesterday, he might be a good shout, did well with wim and maybe get Kev j going back to watch the hoops .
